Black roses do not exist in nature. Flowers commonly called black roses are actually a very dark shade of red, purple, or maroon.
The Mystique of the Black Rose
The mysterious black rose has a significance that spans reality as well as fantasy.
Perhaps because of its unique and unnatural color, Black Rose has always been associated
with what the color itself signifies – death, mourning, evil, black magic and impending
disaster.
The Dark Bud OR Black Rose
But the black rose has had a bad rap for several thousand years merely because of
its color. The fact that white rose is the color of purity and all that is good is a significant
contributing factor to the unfortunate fate of the black rose for these past many
centuries. Black Rose has always been linked with mysticism, the unknowable, the dark side
and sheer terror. During the Victorian era, it was used in funerals to signify loss by
death, and the mourning that followed. Black Rose was also used as a symbolic warning of
doom and, to a lesser extent, enmity.
The Stuff of Legend
Relatively closer to recent times, Black Rose has been used in fairy tales and other fictional
works to denote that same dark tone that has long been associated with it. Even
vampires are said to be fond of black roses because of the connotations of death
being a beginning rather than an end. And surprisingly, as cut flowers they seem to
last longer than other varieties – often up to two weeks or so. This further feeds the
fire of the imagination that the black rose is an undying entity that lives on long after
its separation from the bush.
An Astonishing Revelation
But what most people probably do not know is that there is no such thing as a black
rose! Astonishing, but true – the only reason they are called black roses is because
they are of an extremely dark hue; however, they are more often than not merely
very dark maroons. Varieties such as Black Magic, the Black Bacarra rose and Black
Beauty rose are all similar. They do look black under failing lights but in bright sunlight it
is obvious that they have more than a tinge of red or maroon. Yet, they have gained
popularity through the active imagination of the human mind and the name black rose
has stuck with it.
Modern-day Beliefs of Black Rose
Today, black roses are no longer considered harbingers of doom. Rather, they signify
the completion of an old cycle for the sake of starting a new one. In that sense, they
are more ushers of a new era rather than destroyers of the old. As the positive tone
set in for this rarest of rare roses, they started becoming increasingly popular as
symbols of mutiny and resistance, as believed by the Irish people. They also signify
a new start and therefore, hope and enthusiasm for the future, rather than regret or
mourning for the past. But nothing can change the fact that black roses are the most
mystical members of their family and will always be considered so.
